"Community Acupuncture": Sliding scale donations from $20-$50

Community Acupuncture is not just a description of acupuncture in a group setting, but also describes who is served by acupuncture: our communities. Community Acupuncture is not a one-way relationship of acupuncturists to their communities but the relationship of communities to acupuncture, the clinic, practitioners, and other staff. Community Acupuncture represents the connection and the contract between Acupuncture and Communities. Acupuncture is often defined as one of the major practices of Traditional Chinese Medicine. But it is not just those who are educated to practice acupuncture who get to define what acupuncture is and isn’t. With Community Acupuncture, the definition cannot only come from those delivering care. Those who are served by acupuncture must have also have a role in defining it. To define acupuncture as a technique or part of a body of knowledge leaves out its active role in those who are most affected by it: our patients. The contract between a community acupuncture clinic and the community it serves is simple. The clinic will work to serve you by being here when you need us to provide acupuncture to relieve your pain and suffering. The community will come for acupuncture, pay for treatments, and participate in supporting the clinic in other ways. As in all contracts, both parties give and receive. The community gives its endorsement of acupuncture’s effectiveness, to the affordable sliding scale, to the comfort and accessibility of a community acupuncture clinic, and it receives a reliable resource to maintain or improve the health of its members. Community Acupuncture will be offered here at Kula Yoga Shala within the wall of our Community in the calm setting of our Studios. You will lie on the comfort of your mat, enjoying calming sounds and music while our Acupuncturist, Dr. Craig makes his way around the group to treat everyone. Once your treatment starts you will be left with the needles to relax and enjoy the benefits of the treatment. You will spend your time relaxing and meditating both before and after your treatment while the rest of the Community gets their treatment.

Social Gatherings

It is a transformative movement class for women that combines the benefits of fitness – including strength, flexibility, balance, and agility – with a unique, empowering approach that is expressive and fun. Each class has a special theme and is paired with an amazing soundtrack. No dance or yoga experience is necessary and there is no way you can do it wrong. The focus is always on how it feels and in Qoya we say “if it feels good, that’s how you know you are doing it right!” For more information about Qoya, visit www.Qoya.Love. *Designed for a community of women. *By donation
